Active clinical trials for "Endometriosis"

While there are many medical options for managing endometriosis and fibroids, GnRH-agonist (GnRH-a) therapy remains a very common method of treating these complex conditions. Although this therapy is effective, it does come with significant menopausal side effects, such as hot flashes, sweating, mood changes, sleep disturbance, altered sex drive, decreased bone density, and vaginal and urinary symptoms. In short, chemically-induced menopause (menopause triggered by GnRH-a injection) causes the same symptoms of natural menopause, but with a sudden onset in a generally young and active population. Low dose hormone add-back therapy is commonly used to lessen these side effects of GnRH-a use. There are many menopausal hormone therapies (MHTs) used in menopausal women that can help, but few studies have directly evaluated the different options of treatment for women undergoing chemically-induced menopause. Tibolone is a menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) that stands out as a good option in the management of medical menopause in endometriosis patients because it may give fewer side effects than other alternatives and have a positive effect on mood and libido. This study aims to see how effective Tibolone is as an add-back therapy in women who are hormonally suppressed with a GnRH-a. For this study, we will recruit pre-menopausal women over the age of 18 years old undergoing therapy with the GnRH-a Lupron.

According the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility is a disease of the male or female reproductive system defined by the failure to achieve a pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. In-vitro-fertilization (IVF) is considered to be a successful tool to overcome infertility. However, the current methods used to assess the ovarian reserve and to develop an optimal individualized controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) protocol have shown some limitations. Growing evidence indicates that altered renal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and/or melatonin are linked to infertility. Aims and Objectives: The current 2 years duration study aims first to investigate the demographic and clinical profiles of patients undergoing IVF in the UAE. In the second phase of the study, we hypothesis that an altered angiotensin-melatonin axis may be considered as an unfavorable prognosis factor in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. This hypothesis will be assessed using an observational, longitudinal, prospective clinical study to determine whether the urinary angiotensinogen and/or melatonin deficiency might be present in poor and hyper responders undergoing IVF treatment. Thus, negatively impacting the clinical pregnancy rate. Methodology: various patient's data will be collected using a questionnaire and the levels of angiotensinogen and melatonin in patient's urine will be measured using ELISA test prior to, during and after the IVF treatment. To determine whether the angiotensinogen-melatonin axis disruption affects the IVF treatment outcome, we will analyze the following parameters: the AMH, Antral Follicular Count (AFC), day 2-4 FSH levels, the stimulation cycle in regards to number of stimulation days and amount of gonadotropins used for stimulation, number of oocytes retrieved and number of mature oocytes, quality and embryo's ploidy, number of available euploid embryos and the clinical pregnancy rate after frozen embryo transfer.

In this Phase I study, the primary objective is to investigate the safety and tolerability of SKI2670 after oral administration in healthy female subjects. And secondary objective is to investigate the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of SKI2670 after oral administration in healthy female subjects.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes pelvic pain difficult to treat. In view of this, many patients seek assistance in complementary and alternative medicine, including homeopathic treatment. The absence of evidence in the literature raises controversy about the effectiveness of homeopathic treatment in endometriosis. The aim of this randomized trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of dynamized estrogen compared to placebo in the treatment of chronic pelvic pain of endometriosis.
